Sweet and chili.

You might remember that I'm also not a huge fan of beans, but that I am trying to increase my intake of them, as well. This recipe mixes both ingredients. Lucky me.

"Black Bean-Sweet Potato Chili" (6 quart pot)

~2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
~3 onions, chopped
~3 garlic cloves, minced
~1 T ground cumin
~2 T chili powder
~1 can (28oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
~1 can (15oz) refried black beans
~1 can (15oz) black beans, drained
~2 cups veggie stock (the original recipe called for chicken broth, but I didn't have any, so I substituted.)
~2 t red wine vinegar

8 servings.

Mix potatoes, onions, garlic, cumin, chili powder, tomatoes, both beans, and veggie stock in greased crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.
Stir in vinegar just before serving.
Serve with shredded cheese and sour cream if desired. (I did serve this with cheese (it was shredded Mexican blend) and sour cream, but only because we somehow managed to have a little bit of both in the fridge.)

Man, this was good. Maybe I do like sweet potatoes. And beans. When did THAT happen? My other half demands that I make this more often. Perhaps when I run out of themes and recipes to try?
